I agree that sometimes you can catch the big clubs cold so as you say maybe as well to have those games early. Rovers will be a very tough game though Lawler has said they will challenge in 2020 so will be targeting a win against a side finishing 6th last year for sure.

It has always alternated. Besides, marketed right and the 2nd game of the season could easily be a sell out

He said we wouldn't make the play offs this year. Not completely daft.

He said we'd finish 9th.

To be fair most pundits said 9th or 8th, so we over delivered in that respect.

Agree that they have kept this decision low key, but at the same time theres no clear winner in the Friday or Sunday debate but its worth a try playing Winter games on an afternoon when its a few degrees warmer.
Seems Elstone is having an effect on Super League, its much more sensible fixture list, with high profile games to get the attention at the start, one Easter game to get rid of dreary Easter Monday games, and fixtures on the last day at the same time. Magic back at the fans choice of ground etc heading in a better direction at last I think.

I'm sure they will be targeting a win. But they are going to be a lot of people's favourites to be relegated, and have one of the weakest squads in SL. This fixture also gave us our most comfortable win of this year. If it doesn't qualify as one of the easiest fixtures of the season on paper then I aren't sure what does. That doesn't mean it will be easy in reality of course.
But then you already know all that. Mentioning Lawler's comment just shows that you are looking for a bite.

If Toronto is looking to be too expensive, just had a quick look at some Catalan pricing, and found a trip to Lloret, from the Thursday to Monday, at a 4* hotel including flights for £460 for 2 adults.

The reality is that derbies are highly unpredictable, our home form was awful last year, Rovers won 2 of the 3 derbies and they are launching a Revolution (their words not mine). They have a 2 day turnaround advantage too. I don't see it as an easy tie at all.

dont get me wrong, no problem with the club mixing up the fixtures on fri/sat/sundays/.......just slightly peeved the club never give us fans the heads up, now relying on using more holiday allowance (if allowed) than i would like just to attend the non friday home games

Surely you have to agree that the derby is never an easy tie? There's never been a fixture I fear as much.

That's just a cliche. We have lost a few derbys recently, but then we have lost to nearly everyone recently. On the whole, over the past 4 or 5 years, Rovers have been pretty much our easiest opponents. We have had a lot of very comfortable wins.
You never know what you are going to get on game day and we all know that things often don't go to script. They could very easily beat us. Just like we could easily beat Saints and Wigan. But the fact is they are one of the weakest sides in SL and as such, one of the easiest fixtures is playing them at home. I'm not quite sure why you always insist on mentioning things like the "Revolution." I could start claiming that I am going to knock out Anthony Joshua. It doesn't make it true.
The 2 days turnaround is a valid point but probably doesn't mean so much so early in the season as it would during July when squads are really starting to get banged up.
I don't think it will be an easy game. I don't think there will be such a thing next year. But I would rather be playing them than pretty much anyone else, put it that way.

2 day turn around is a biggie for me...
1st game of the yr vs Leeds at theirs on a big day for it...won't be game hardened. Will take a bit more recovery than it would 4 or 5 in. Bit like a 1st big session back at the gym after time off. Ruins ya and takes days to get the aches out. Month on and the same workout hardly leaves you sore

| Anyone know how to import fixture list to iOS calendar or an address that can be used. No luck on searches now entering all games by hand which is a right ball ache.

Maybe copy all dates as text into an email and send it to yourself?
